The AIM program will provide students with the core education and technical hands-on skills they need to pursue careers in the advanced manufacturing sector. The demand for highly skilled technicians continues to grow every day right here in JJC's district. Students will participate in four separate college courses building skills and awareness in industrial maintenance, industrial fluid power, basic wiring, circuit design and industrial controls. Students will need their own transportation to and from class. They will be dual enrolled earning high school and college credit for IMT101, IMT121, EEAS 101, and EEAS 111, a total of 14 credits. For course descriptions, see the catalog.

Building on that knowledge, study will continue on the principles of hydraulics and pneumatics as applied to the basic theory of fluids and typical industrial circuits. Students will build fluid power circuits as applied to industrial applications.

In addition, students will learn the fundamentals of electrical and electronic circuits, including the calculation and measurement of voltage, current, resistance and power with emphasis placed on safe meter usage, print reading and exposure to a variety of electrical technologies currently used in industry including: introductory residential wiring, operation of AC motors, industrial solid-state devices, variable frequency drives, industrial controls, and single-phase/three-phase power distribution. Also included are the skills necessary to safely use electronic test equipment on low-and high-voltage components, and the use of controls including timers and relays.
